PostSubject: Things you don't like about owning an AC VW   Mon Aug 25, 2008 1:18 pm

Complete crap for a topic, but I am bored at work. We are always singing praises about our buses, beetles, ect , but every now and then, I get a moderate feeling of frustration related to my beloved bus. When I put all mechanical problems to the side, I find that my bus attracts a lot of attention, and..........well......I keep getting busted picking my nose. That really sucks. Normally, when I am driving my truck, I can pick my nose to my hearts content, but when I'm in the Hive people point because of the bus and my deep dig for gold. geek

What frustrates you guys about your vehicles?

What aggravates the shit out of me is when you take pride in your VW and befriend folks for the common comradeships that come with the need to have a wing man for repairs and fill those weird "now what" voids at shows and that person won't show up.

Gotta go.........Dr. Phil is coming on.

Just fix everything all at once and your problem is solved. Laughing

a bit lae, but i'm bored...

how bout having to adjust the breaks every week. i've just said "fuck it", and i now just pump the brakes like hell to stop. i just make sure i don't follow to close, so i have atleast 300ft to stop Laughing . i was using my e-brake, but it broke on me, and i have to skid off the road, on the grass, then swerve back on the road to avoid hitting the guy in front of me.

and for some reason, i had an exhaust nut get stuck under the pedal, so the pedal stays down about an inch/ inch and a half, and the pedal is perfect. i don't know why that is, but hell it works, so i'm not going to unstuck the nut, lol Laughing .
